Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Mineral, VA.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mineral offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
